This patch is actually just a stepping stone to getting the desired 
functionality
into ssh, but I'm starting here in case peoploe still use telnet.

On high latency, congested networks, it's advantageous to do as much character
processing as possible on the local client, and only send complete lines of 
input
to the remote server. Up till now the Linux kernel has lacked the features 
needed
for full support of the RFC1184 Telnet LineMode option, but I've posted a patch
to implement the missing kernel features.

The patches here are needed to make telnet and telnetd compile and run properly
when building with -DLINEMODE instead of -DKLUDGELINEMODE.

Hi Howard,

Thanks for the patch. I have to do some heavy maintenance on the package
and once that's ready I'll include your patch.

Great, thanks. No rush though, these patches are useless until the kernel patches go in.
